Allocating poll threads for an interface/protocol combination
with the NETTYPE configuration parameter

The NETTYPE configuration parameter configures poll threads
for each connection type that your instance of the database server
supports. You can use this configuration parameter to allocate more
than one poll thread for an interface/protocol combination.

Set the NETTYPE configuration parameter as follows:

Specify SQLI, drtlitcp, or drsoctcp as
the connection protocol.

Add information about the number of poll threads, the number
of connections, and the virtual processor class.

For example, specify:

NETTYPE drtlitcp,3,2,CPU

A
NETTYPE entry can handle multiple database server aliases on the same
protocol type. Thus, when DRDA is
in use, the network listener thread (NETTYPE drtlitcp or drsoctcp)
typically has at least two sockets open and listening for connections.
One socket is open for SQLI connections and another is open for DRDA connections. Additional sockets
might be open if many separate server aliases are configured.
